The government of Punjab in Pakistan has recently banned the publication and display of some Jama'at publications. With the use of mobile technology and messaging apps news travels very fast these days. People from Pakistan write in to Huzoor expressing their anxiety at the matter. It should be remembered this opposition against the Jama'at is nothing new. Through the history of the Jama'at the so-called religious leaders have raised objections and created difficulties for the Jama'at and they are not going to stop. Neither their ploys harmed the Jama'at in the past nor will they harm it in future. No mother has born a child who can stop the Divine mission of the Promised Messiah.
Their antagonism and is rooted in jealousy at the progress of the Jama'at and the intensity of their jealousy makes them lose their senses. Apparently educated folk behave worse than illiterates, without trying to find out the glorious manner in which the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) wrote about the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) and Islam. Fair-minded people are astonished to browse through our literature as they realise the utterly false and fabricated manner in which writings of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) are portrayed by our detractors. They express their amazement on Live programmes on MTA as well as write in saying they have only now realised the high stature of writings of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) as their religious leaders had kept them in the dark.
Our detractors do what they do but as ever their ploys will only further burnish our faith and will enrich our connection with the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace). Let alone the government of Punjab even if the entire world made an effort to place obstructions, our work will not stop because it is Divine work. Indeed God sent the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) with spiritual treasures and promised him success. The more our opponents try to suppress us, the greater is our advancement and InshaAllah things will work out in this vein again.
There is no need to worry as now our books are published in other countries of the world as well. They are also available online and in audio format. There was a time when restrictions on printing caused concern but now these treasures of spiritual knowledge are spread out in the ether and it is for us to take maximum advantage of them.
Huzoor has decided that dars (lesson) on the Promised Messiah's (on whom be peace) books should now be given more than ever. Thus restrictions placed in one province of Pakistan will end up being beneficial for everyone. The dars will be in the original language of the books but material will be available in many other languages. Those who are worried about the situation should let go their concerns. This restriction yet again clarifies a point: these people claim to have great ardent love for the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) and say that their opposition against us is borne of this ardent love but they have never read our literature fair-mindedly. Today's sermon was based on extracts from the writings of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace), writings about which our opponents claim that, God forbid, they are contrary to the esteem and glory of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him). It is astonishing that anyone who claims to love the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) can remain unwilling to perceive or understand after reading or listening to these writings!
The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) wrote:
'God Almighty's design with regard to Prophets and auliya' [friends of God/saints/holy men] is that every type of their high moral quality should be manifested and should be clearly established. To fulfil this design God Almighty divides their glorious lives into two parts. One part is passed in hardship
and under calamities, in which they are tormented and persecuted in every way, so that those of their high moral qualities can be manifested which cannot be manifested except during severe hardship. If they were not subjected to severe hardship, how can it be affirmed that they are a people who are not disloyal to their Lord in the face of calamities, but rather, they continue to march forward. They are grateful to the Benevolent God that He chose them for His favours and considered them worthy that they should be persecuted in His cause. Therefore, God Almighty afflicts them with calamities in order to demonstrate their patience, their steadfastness, their courage, their perseverance, their loyalty and their bravery to the world, thereby illustrating in them: ['Steadfastness has a higher status than a miracle'], because perfect steadfastness cannot be manifested in the absence of severe hardships, nor can the perfect degree of perseverance and steadfastness be shown except in the most trying circumstances. These calamities are in fact spiritual bounties for the Prophets and auliya', through which their high morals, in which they are matchless and peerless, are manifested and their ranks are exalted in the Hereafter. If they were not subjected to these hardships, they would not have attained these bounties, nor would their sterling qualities be demonstrated to the common people, and thus they would be regarded like other people and equal to them. And even if they had lived their short lives in comfort and luxury, they would still have to depart from this transitory world one day. In this way, their pleasantness would not have remained with them, and they would not have
attained the lofty status in the Hereafter; nor would their manliness, resolve, fidelity, and bravery have been universally a acknowledged, which proved them to be distinguished with no match, incomparable without a peer, unique of the unique, hidden beyond hidden where
no one's imagination could reach, and so perfect and brave as if each of them were a thousand lions in one body and a thousand leopards in one frame, whose power and strength rose above everyone's imagination and reached the loftiest ranks of nearness [of God].
The second part of the lives of Prophets and auliya' is the one in which they enjoy the highest level in victory, prestige, and wealth; so that they may be able to demonstrate those essential high moral qualities that can be demonstrated only by one who enjoys victory, prestige, wealth, authority, sovereignty, and might. Possession of wealth and power is an essential condition to prove that someone possesses such high morals as forgiving his tormentors, pardoning those who have offended him, loving his enemies, desiring the good of those who desire nothing but evil for him, not loving wealth, not allowing himself to become arrogant on account of his riches, not to be niggardly and tight-fisted, to be generous and bountiful, not to use his wealth for satisfying baser passions, and not to exercise authority and governance as a tool of tyranny and aggression. These qualities
are demonstrated only when a person possesses both wealth and authority. Without passing through a time of trial and misfortune, and also a time of prosperity and authority, these two types of high qualities cannot be manifested. That is why the perfect wisdom of the Almighty God demanded that Prophets and auliya' should be provided with both these types of conditions, which comprise thousands of bounties.
The occurrence of these two conditions, however, does not follow the same order for all of them. Divine wisdom ordains in the case of some that the period of peace and comfort comes in the first part of their lives followed by a period of hardship; while the life of others
begins in tribulation and God's succour comes to their rescue in the end. In some, the two phases are subtle and not easily defined; while in others they are clearly marked and evident. In this respect the foremost is Hadrat Khatamur-Rusul [the Seal of the Messengers], peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, for both these conditions were experienced by him in their perfection and in such order that all the high moral qualities of the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, were illuminated like the sun and thus the meaning of 'You do surely possess high moral excellences' (68:5) was proved fully.
What is more, the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, having been proved to be perfect in both types of moral qualities, also serves as proof of the moral qualities of all Prophets, because he has testified to their prophethood, authenticated their
scriptures and has shown the world that they were indeed Allah's chosen people. This analysis also completely repels the objection that might possibly arise about the moral qualities of Masih [i.e., Jesus the Messiah]—namely, that the moral qualities of Hadrat Masih, peace be on him, cannot be established to a perfect degree with respect to both of the above-mentioned types; rather, that they cannot be established even with regard to one type. Because the Masih showed patience under distress, the perfection of this quality would have been demonstrated only if the Masih had obtained authority and power over his persecutors and had forgiven his oppressors from the bottom of his heart, as did Hadrat Khatamul-Anbiya', peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, who obtained complete victory over the Makkans and others and after virtually having his sword upon their throats, forgave them their crimes, and he punished only those few who had been condemned by a special decree of Allah the Almighty to undergo punishment. Besides these eternally accursed few, every sworn enemy was pardoned. And having achieved victory, he announced to them: ['No blame shall lie on you this day'].
On account of this forgiveness of offences—which had appeared impossible in the estimation of his opponents who, considering their own misdeeds, deemed themselves condemned to death in the hands of their avengers—thousands of people accepted Islam instantly. Thus, the sincere steadfastness of the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings
of Allah be upon him, which he had demonstrated for a long period under their severe persecution became illumined in their eyes like the sun.
As it is part of man's nature that the grandeur and greatness of patience is illustrated perfectly only for the person who, after the time of persecution has been dispelled, forgives his persecutors after obtaining power to punish them; that is why the moral qualities of
the Masih in the matter of patience and meekness and endurance were not fully demonstrated, and it did not become clear whether his patience and meekness was by his choice or was under compulsion. Because, the Masih did not acquire power and authority so that it could be judged whether he would have forgiven his enemies or taken revenge upon them.
In contrast, the good qualities of the Holy Prophet, peace and blessing of Allah be upon him, were demonstrated and put to test on hundreds of occasions and their truth shone forth like the sun. The good qualities of kindness, large-heartedness, munificence, selflessness,
manliness, bravery, chastity, contentment and withdrawal from the world were demonstrated so clearly and brilliantly in the case of the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, that, let alone the Masih, there never was a Prophet before him who demonstrated them to such perfection. Because God Almighty opened for the Holy Prophet the doors to countless [worldly] treasures, he spent them all in the way of God and did not spend a penny on any kind of self-indulgence. He created no buildings and built no mansions; rather, he spent the whole of his life in a small mud hut that had nothing to distinguish it from the huts of the poor. He repaid evil with kindness and helped his tormentors in their distress out of his own wealth. He usually slept on the floor, lived in a small hut, and had barley bread to eat—and at times nothing at all. He was granted abundant wealth of the world, but he did not soil his holy hands with it and always preferred poverty to wealth and meekness to power. From the day of his advent to the day
when he returned to his Companion on High, he attached no importance to anything except to his Benevolent God. Solely for the sake of God, he gave proof of his bravery, fidelity, and steadfastness on the battlefield against thousands of enemies when death appeared a certainty. Similarly did the Benevolent God cause all other moral excellences, associated with large-heartedness, generosity, contentment, courage, bravery, and love of God, to be manifested in the person of Hadrat Khatamul-Anbiya' in such a manner as has never been displayed before nor ever will.
In the case of Hadrat Masih, peace be on him, these moral qualities were not clearly established for they can only be proved in a period of authority and riches and the Masih did not find the period of authority and riches. Thus in his case, both types of moral qualities
remained hidden; hence the conditions were not present. However, this above-mentioned objection which can be raised against the deficiency in the case of the Messiah has been repelled by the perfect example of the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon
him, inasmuch as his beneficent example perfects and completes the case of every Prophet, and through him whatever had remained hidden or doubtful in the case of the Masih and other Prophets shone forth brightly. Revelation and prophethood came to an end in that
holy person in the sense that all excellences reached their climax in him. [And this is Allah's grace; He bestows it upon whomsoever He pleases].' (Barahin e Ahmadiyya, Part III, pp. 177 – 181)
The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) also wrote:
'It is my personal experience that to obey the Holy Prophet [peace and blessings of Allah be on him] with a sincere heart and to love him, ultimately makes a person beloved of God. God creates in his heart a burning for His Own love and such a one, withdrawing his heart
from everything else, leans towards God and his affection and desire remain only for God Almighty. Thereupon a special manifestation of Divine love falls upon him and, bestowing upon him the full colour of love and devotion, pulls him towards itself with great force. He then overcomes his passions and from every direction extraordinary works of God Almighty appear as signs in his support and to help him.' [Essence of Islam, Vol. I, p. 210 - Haqiqat-ul-Wahi, Ruhani Khaza'in, Vol. 22, pp. 67-68]
He also wrote the following about the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him):
'The man who in his being and his attributes and his actions and through his spiritual and holy faculties set an example of perfection, in knowledge and action and in sincerity and steadfastness, and was called the perfect man was Muhammad [peace and blessings of Allah be on him].... The man who was most perfect as man and as Prophet, and came with full blessings, and who through a spiritual revival and resurrection manifested the first
Judgement in the world and revived the dead world, that blessed Prophet, the Seal of the Prophets, the leader of the righteous ones, the pride of the Prophets, was Muhammad,
the chosen one [peace and blessings of Allah be on him]. Our Lord, send down on that beloved Prophet that mercy and blessing that Thou hast not sent down on anyone since the beginning of the world. Had that grand Prophet not appeared in the world then we would have no proof of the truth of lesser Prophets like Jonah, Job, Jesus son of Mary, Malachi, John, Zechariah, etc. Though they were favourites and honoured and were beloved ones of
Almighty God, they are under obligation to this Prophet that they were accepted in the world as true Prophets. O Allah, send down Thy blessings on him and on his people
and on his companions, all of them. Our last word is that all praise belongs to Allah, Lord of the worlds.'
[Essence of Islam, Vol. I, p. 199 - Itmam-ul-Hujjah, Ruhani Khaza'in, Vol. 8, p. 308]
'There is neither a Prophet comparable to the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) under the heavens nor is there a Book comparable to the Holy Qur'an. God did not will for anyone to live forever but this esteemed Prophet lives forever. As a basis of his eternal life God has made the beneficence of the religious law the Prophet brought as well as his spirituality carry on till the Day of Judgement. It was by virtue of his spiritual beneficence indeed that ultimately God sent the Promised Messiah to the world. The coming of the Messiah was essential for the completion of the Islamic structure. It was essential to send a spiritual Messiah of Muhammadan dispensation before the end of the world just as one was sent for the Mosaic dispensation. This is what the verse: 'Guide us in the right path – The path of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy blessings…' (1:6-7) indicates to. Moses (on whom be peace) was given the provision which the earlier people had lost and the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) was given the provision which Mosaic mission had lost. Now the mission of Muhammad is in place of the Mosaic mission and it is thousands times more glorious than the model of Moses and the model of son of Mary.' (Kishti Nuh, Ruhani Khaza'in, Vol. 19, p. 14)
Two funeral Prayers in absentia were announced. Muhammad Musa Sahib, dervish of Qadian, passed away on 10 May at the age of 95. Sahibzadi Amatul Rafiq Sahiba, daughter of Hazrat Mir Muhammad Ismael Sahib, passed away on 6 May at the age of 80.

Last Friday, I mentioned that the Punjab government has imposed a ban on certain periodicals and books of the Jamaat, prohibiting their publication or display, and some newspapers there also reported this news. Nowadays, through the methods of sending photographs, messages, and various kinds of communications via phone, news circulates around the world in minutes. Upon hearing and seeing this, people also write letters to me. They express their anxiety through fax and other means. We should remember that these things are nothing new. In the history of Jamaat Ahmadiyya, such actions have occurred before at the behest of these so-called scholars and continue to happen. From the very beginning since Jamaat Ahmadiyya was established, these people have been engaging in such actions and will continue to do so. These actions have never caused any harm to the Jamaat in the past, nor will they ever cause any harm in the future, InshaAllah. Nor can they cause any harm. Nor has any mother given birth to a child who can stop the divine mission of the Promised Messiah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) through such actions. These scholars—so-called scholars—and the governments that look toward them need some excuse to express their jealousy upon seeing the progress of Ahmadiyyat. They are so blinded by this jealousy that veils completely fall upon their intellect. Apparently educated people are displaying their condition worse than the ignorant. They have never even tried to see how the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) has described the true teachings of Islam and the status and rank of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and how beautifully all this is presented in the literature of Jamaat Ahmadiyya. Fair-minded Muslims from among the Arabs and other nations—when these people see what the reality is, when they see the Jamaat's literature and books and learn what the truth is—they are astonished at how these so-called scholars who consider themselves the standard-bearers of Islam have presented and continue to present the views, teachings, and writings of the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) in a distorted and deceptive manner. Seeing how the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) has described the status of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and the glory of the beautiful teachings of Islam, people frequently express—both in the live TV programs of our MTA and through letters—those who have not yet become Ahmadi that they have now come to know of this status and glory. Otherwise, these scholars had kept them in the veil of ignorance. It becomes apparent to people that in their enmity toward Ahmadiyyat, these people, consciously or unconsciously, are causing aspersions to be cast upon the name of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and Islam. In any case, the religion of these scholars is nothing but enmity and mischief. Therefore, they will never try to find out the truth, no matter how much corruption this causes among simple-minded Muslims. Anyway, these are their deeds; they will continue doing them because their personal interests are dearer to them than religion. But as always, these actions of the opponents should serve as fertilizer for us to bring freshness to our faith and to increase our relationship with the Promised Messiah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). If our attention toward reading the books of the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) was lacking, it should now increase.
The ban by one provincial government of Punjab cannot stop this work—not even the bans of all the governments of the world can stop it—because this is not work done through human efforts. This is the work of God Almighty. He has sent the Promised Messiah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) with treasures of knowledge and understanding and has promised success. We have always seen that after great obstacles and opposition, the progress of the Jamaat has emerged even more prominently. In their estimation, the step taken against us is only a minor obstacle. The more we are suppressed, the more Allah the Almighty increases His favors upon us. InshaAllah, it will be better now as well. Therefore, there is no cause for concern. There is no need for excessive worry because the books of the Promised Messiah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) are now being printed in other countries of the world as well. They are available on websites. Some books are also available in audio, and InshaAllah, efforts will be made to provide the rest soon as well. There was a time when there was concern that a ban on publication could cause harm. Now, by the grace of Allah the Almighty, these treasures of knowledge and understanding are spread in the airwaves and come before us with the press of a button. Our task is to try to benefit as much as possible from the discourse and books of the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him). I have now thought that, InshaAllah, the teaching of the books of the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) on MTA will be given more time than before, and in this way, the Ahmadis spread throughout the world will benefit from a law of one province of Pakistan. Every obstacle and opposition that occurs benefits us. It draws attention toward new paths and means. And then this will also happen, InshaAllah, that not only will books be printed in the original language or lessons be given, but this material will also become available in the local languages of many nations. So those who have any kind of worry in their hearts—since people write, I have to say this—should remove it from their hearts. From all this action taken against our literature, one thing is certainly clear and has emerged prominently—as it always has—that these people who claim to be great lovers of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and are great standard-bearers of Islamic teachings, and for this reason oppose us, have never read the Jamaat's literature with a fair eye, nor have they tried to read it. Usually, we show them the reality of their claims and their true face, but I have thought that today I will present some references from the writings of the Promised Messiah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in which, according to our opponents, God forbid, things have been said against Islam and the status of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), against his dignity, against the teachings, or in which there is material of hatred and offense. All these subjects are very extensive; from them, I will present a few references that the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) has shown us regarding the status and rank of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). It is astonishing that any person who claims to love the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) can close his ears and eyes to hearing and reading these. In any case, we have no concern with these so-called scholars, but to further open the hearts of the thousands of people who listen to our words through MTA, and to create further brightness in the hearts and minds of Ahmadis and to develop its proper understanding, I will present some references.
First, for example, the beautiful manner of praising God and invoking blessings upon the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that the Promised Messiah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) has described. At one place, he says:
"O my God! A thousand thanks to You that You Yourself showed us the way to recognize You, and by revealing Your holy books, saved us from the errors and mistakes of thought and reason. And blessings and peace be upon the Chief of the Messengers, Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and upon his family and companions, through whom God guided a lost world to the straight path. That nurturer and benefactor who brought the forgetful creation back to the right path. That beneficent and gracious one who freed people from the calamity of polytheism and idols. That light and spreader of light who spread the light of monotheism in the world. That wise one and physician of the age who established the strayed hearts upon righteousness. That generous one and possessor of miracles who gave the water of life to the dead. That merciful and compassionate one who bore grief and pain for the sake of his Ummah. That brave and valiant one who brought us out of the jaws of death. That forbearing and selfless human being who bowed his head in servitude and merged his being with the dust. That perfect monotheist and ocean of gnosis who was pleased only with the majesty of God and cast others out of his sight. That miracle of the power of the Merciful who, being unlettered, prevailed over all in the sciences of truth and held every nation accountable for their errors and mistakes." (Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya Part I, Ruhani Khazain, Volume 1, Page 17)
Then, the noble character of any person becomes evident either when he is afflicted with hardships or when he attains prosperity and power. And its greatest expression occurs through the prophets of Allah the Almighty and His special near ones. And the highest status of this expression is seen in the person of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). What were the morals of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) during the days of hardship and the era of victories? Regarding this, the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) says:
"The existence of prophets and saints is for this purpose: that people may follow them in all moral qualities, and all seekers of truth may tread upon the path of steadfastness upon which God has established them. And it is a self-evident fact that the excellent moral qualities of a person are only proven when they manifest at their proper time. (Every moral quality has its time; when they manifest at their respective times, only then is it known that they are being proven.) And it is only at that time that their effects are felt in the hearts. For example, forgiveness is only credible and praiseworthy when it is exercised at the time of having the power to take revenge. (When someone has the power to take revenge, forgiving them at that time is praiseworthy.) And piety is credible only when it is maintained despite having the ability to indulge the self. In short, the intent of God the Almighty regarding prophets and saints is that all their moral qualities should manifest and be proven. So, God the Almighty, in order to fulfill this intent, divides their luminous lives into two parts. (There are two parts.) One part is spent in hardships and tribulations, and they are subjected to all kinds of suffering and persecution, so that those excellent moral qualities may manifest that cannot possibly manifest or be proven except through the most severe tribulations. If those most severe tribulations were not to descend upon them, how would it be proven that they are such a people that when tribulations befall them, they do not become unfaithful to their Lord, but rather advance further and are grateful to the Gracious Lord that He has cast His eye of favor upon them alone, leaving aside all others, and has deemed them worthy of being persecuted for His sake and in His way? So, God the Almighty sends tribulations upon them so that their patience, their steadfastness, their manliness, their constancy, their faithfulness, and their chivalry (that is, bravery) may be made manifest to people, and they may be made the embodiment of 'Steadfastness is above miracles.' Because perfect patience cannot be manifested without perfect tribulations, and the highest degree of steadfastness and firmness cannot be known without the highest degree of trial. And these tribulations are in reality spiritual blessings for prophets and saints, through which their excellent moral qualities—in which they are unparalleled and matchless—are manifested in the world, and their ranks are elevated in the Hereafter. If God did not send these tribulations upon them, they would not have obtained these blessings, nor would their excellent attributes have been fully revealed to the common people. Rather, they would have been considered equal to other people like everyone else. And although they might have spent their few days of life in pleasure and comfort, they would eventually have passed away from this transient abode. In that case, neither would that pleasure and comfort have remained for them, nor would they have attained the high ranks of the Hereafter. Nor would their chivalry, bravery, faithfulness, and courage have become renowned throughout the world, by which they became so honorable that none is comparable to them, so unique that none is their equal, so singular that none is their second, so hidden that no perception can reach them, so perfect and brave as if thousands of lions are in one body and thousands of leopards are in one form, whose strength and power became higher than all eyes and reached the highest degrees of nearness. (All these things are what become manifest. Then they reach the highest degree of nearness to Allah the Almighty.)
And the second part of the lives of prophets and saints is spent in victory, fortune, wealth, and perfection, so that those moral qualities may manifest whose manifestation requires being victorious, being fortunate, being wealthy, being authorized, being powerful, and being strong. Because forgiving the sins of those who caused one pain, overlooking those who persecuted one, loving one's enemies, and doing good to one's ill-wishers; not being attached to wealth, not being proud of wealth, not adopting miserliness and stinginess in wealth, opening the door of generosity and liberality and giving, not making wealth a means of self-indulgence, and not making government an instrument of oppression and transgression (if government and power come into one's hands, not oppressing because of it)—all these are moral qualities whose proof requires being wealthy and powerful. And they are only proven when both wealth and power are available to the person. So, since these two types of moral qualities cannot be manifested without the time of hardship and adversity and the time of wealth and power (the time of weakness and hardship and the time of wealth and power)—that is, such moral qualities are manifested both in weakness and in victory only when a person sees both the time of hardship and the time of wealth and power—then he said that therefore, the perfect divine wisdom demanded that the prophets and saints be made to benefit from both these conditions, which comprise thousands of blessings. But the time of occurrence of these two conditions does not follow the same order for everyone. (Both conditions occur but not in the same order.) Rather, divine wisdom arranges for some the time of peace and comfort in the first part of life and the time of hardships afterward, and upon some, hardships descend first, and then ultimately divine help is granted. And in some, these two conditions are hidden, and in some, they manifest to the fullest degree. (They become extremely apparent.) And he said: In this regard, the foremost is Hazrat Khatam al-Rusul, Muhammad Mustafa (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), because upon the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), both these conditions occurred with complete clarity (that is, there were times of hardship and times of victory and help), and they came in such an order that all the excellent moral qualities of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) became as radiant as the sun, and the meaning of إِنَّكَ لَعَلَىٰ خُلُقٍ عَظِيمٍ ("And thou dost surely possess high moral excellences.") was proven. And the proven perfection of the moral qualities of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in both respects proves the moral qualities of all prophets. (His moral qualities reaching perfection proves not only his own moral qualities but also those of all prophets). How? He said: Because he confirmed their prophethood and their books and made their nearness to God manifest. So, from this investigation, the objection that may arise in hearts regarding the moral qualities of the Messiah is completely removed—that is, that the moral qualities of Hazrat Messiah (peace be upon him) cannot be proven to perfection in both the aforementioned types; rather, they are not even proven in one type. Because if the Messiah exercised patience during the time of tribulations, the perfection and soundness of that patience could only have been proven true if the Messiah, after gaining power and dominance over those who caused him pain, had forgiven the sins of those who harmed him with a sincere heart (those who had caused him pain, he would have forgiven their sins sincerely), as the Holy Prophet, Khatam al-Anbiya (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), upon gaining complete victory over the people of Makkah and others and seeing them under his sword, forgave their sins. And he only punished those few people for whom a definite command had come from the One God (from Allah the Almighty). And except for those eternally accursed ones, he forgave the sins of every enemy, and after victory, he said to all لَا تَثْرِیْبَ عَلَیْکُمُ الْیَوْمَ ('No blame shall lie on you this day'). And because of this forgiveness of their faults—which was an impossible matter in the eyes of the opponents, and looking at their own mischiefs, they considered themselves dead in the hands of their opponent." (That is, he showed such forgiveness that the opponents, because of their sins and mistakes, thought it would be very difficult; they would not be forgiven. When they saw their mischief, they thought that their only punishment would be that they would be killed. But the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, forgave them. He says:) "Thousands of people accepted the religion of Islam in one moment (because of this), and the true patience of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), which he had exercised for a long time over their severe persecutions, became radiant before them like the sun (such patience that became radiant before them like the sun). And since it is naturally part of human nature that the greatness and grandeur of the patience of only that person becomes fully radiant to a person who, after a period of bearing harm, forgives the sin of his persecutor when he gains the power to take revenge." (That is, for a long time he was subjected to tribulations. But he said that the expression of true, real patience can only occur when the one who was subjected to tribulations gains the power to take revenge, to retaliate, then he forgives everyone's sins. So this is the real, true patience, and this is the example that the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, showed.) He said: "For this reason, the moral qualities of the Messiah that pertained to patience, forbearance, and endurance were not properly proven, and it did not become clear whether the patience and forbearance of the Messiah was voluntary or compelled, because the Messiah did not attain the time of power and strength so that it could be seen whether he forgave the sins of those who harmed him or took revenge. In contrast, the moral qualities of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) were fully revealed on hundreds of occasions and were tested, and their truth became radiant like the sun. And the moral qualities pertaining to generosity, liberality, benevolence, selflessness, chivalry, bravery, asceticism, contentment, and disregard for the world also became so radiant, brilliant, and resplendent in the blessed person of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that not to speak of the Messiah, no prophet has passed before the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in the world whose moral qualities became so clearly radiant, because God the Almighty opened the doors of countless treasures upon the Holy Prophet. So he spent all of them in the way of God, and not a grain was spent in any kind of self-indulgence. (He did not spend even a penny on his own comfort.) He did not construct any building, nor was any court established. Rather, he spent his entire life in a small mud hut, which had no preference over the huts of poor people. He showed goodness to evildoers, and those who were hurtful, he gave them happiness from his own wealth in their time of need. For sleeping, usually the ground was his bed, and for living, a small hut. And for eating, he chose barley bread or fasting. Worldly riches were given to him in abundance, but the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did not let his pure hands be stained by the world in the least. And he always preferred poverty over wealth and humility over riches. And from the day he appeared until the day he joined his Exalted Companion (that is, from the beginning of his life until his demise), he did not consider anyone or anything except his Gracious Lord. And standing purely for the sake of God on the battlefield against thousands of enemies, where being killed was a certainty (it was a very difficult place), he displayed his bravery, faithfulness, and steadfastness. In short, whatever excellent moral qualities pertain to generosity, liberality, asceticism, contentment, manliness, bravery, and love of God, God the Gracious manifested them in Hazrat Khatam al-Anbiya (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in such a manner that their like was never manifested in the world, nor will it ever be manifested."
He says: "And God sealed revelation and prophethood upon this holy being in these meanings: that all perfections ended upon this being of grandeur. وَھَذَا فَضْلُ اللّٰہِ یُؤْتِیْہِ مَنْ یَّشَآءُ (And this is the grace of Allah, which He gives to whomsoever He wills.)" (Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya Part III, Ruhani Khazain, Volume 1, Pages 276-292, Footnote No. 11)
Then, explaining in response to a question from a Christian that the light and radiance is the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) himself, the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) said. The question was: "The Messiah said these words about himself: 'Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest,' and that 'I am the light and the way. I am the life and the truth.' Did the founder of Islam attribute these words or such words to himself anywhere?"
The Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) said:
"In the Holy Quran, it is clearly stated: قُلْ اِنْ کُنْتُمْ تُحِبُّوْنَ اللّٰہَ فَاتَّبِعُوْنِیْ یُحْبِبْکُمُ اللّٰہُ۔ (وَیَغْفِرْلَکُمْ ذُنُوْبَکُمْ)...... (Aal-e-Imran: 32)—that is, tell them: 'If you love God, then come and follow me, so that God may also love you and forgive your sins.'" He said: "This promise that by following me a person becomes beloved of God prevails over the aforementioned statements of the Messiah, because there is no station greater than a person becoming beloved of God. So whoever's path makes a person beloved of God has more right than anyone to call himself 'light.' For this reason, Allah, the Most Glorious, has named the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) 'Nur' (Light) in the Holy Quran, as He said: قَدْ جَآءَ کُمْ مِنَ اللّٰہِ نُوْرٌ (Al-Ma'idah: 16)—that is, "There has come to you indeed from Allah a Light" (Siraj-ud-Din Isai ke Char Sawalon ka Jawab, Ruhani Khazain, Volume 12, Page 372)
Then, explaining that the love and following of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) makes a person beloved of God, he further says:
"Allah the Almighty has made His love for anyone conditional upon that person following the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)." Allah the Almighty has made His love for anyone conditional upon that person following the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). That is, He has placed the condition that if you love the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), you will attain My love. Thus, he says: "It is my personal experience that following the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) with a sincere heart and loving him ultimately makes a person beloved of God—in such a way that it creates a burning of divine love in his heart. Then such a person, becoming disenchanted with everything else, inclines toward God, and his attachment and longing remain only with God the Almighty. Then a special radiance of divine love falls upon him and, giving him a complete color of love and devotion, draws him toward Himself with a powerful attraction. Then he prevails over base desires, and in his support and help, the extraordinary acts of God the Almighty manifest from every direction in the form of signs." (Haqiqat-ul-Wahi, Ruhani Khazain, Volume 22, Pages 67-68)
Then, explaining that the most perfect human being and perfect prophet is the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) himself, he says:
"That human being who, through his person, through his attributes, through his deeds, through his actions, and through the powerful river of his spiritual and pure faculties, displayed a complete example of perfection in knowledge, practice, truthfulness, and steadfastness and was called the perfect human being... That human being who was the most perfect and was the perfect human and was the perfect prophet and came with perfect blessings, through whom the first resurrection of the world became manifest due to spiritual resurrection and gathering, and an entire world that was dead came alive by his coming—that blessed prophet is Hazrat Khatam al-Anbiya, Imam al-Asfiya, Khatam al-Mursalin, Fakhr al-Nabiyyin, Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). O dear God! Send upon this beloved prophet such mercy and blessings as You have never sent upon anyone from the beginning of the world. If this magnificent prophet had not come into the world, then regarding all the minor prophets who came into the world—such as Jonah, Job, the Messiah son of Mary, Malachi, John, Zechariah, etc.—we would have had no proof of their truth, although all were near ones, honorable, and beloved of God the Almighty. It is the favor of this prophet that these people too were considered true in the world. اَللّٰھُمَّ صَلِّ وَسَلِّمْ وَ بَارِکْ عَلَیْہِ وَ اٰلِہِ وَ اَصْحَابِہِ اَجْمَعِیْنَ." (Itmam al-Hujjah, Ruhani Khazain, Volume 8, Page 308)
Then, mentioning some of the favors of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), he says:
"He sent for us a Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) who is generous, possesses perfection in all matters of good, surpasses in every type of perfection in every manner, is the Seal of all messengers and prophets, the promised prophet who was to come in Umm al-Qura, who is truly Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), because the tongues of those who benefit from him are always moist with his praise, and he is worthy of perfect praise also because he took upon himself the utmost hardship and toil for the sake of the Ummah and raised high the edifice of religion, and also because he brought for us a luminous and radiant book, and also because in conveying the messages of his Lord, the Lord of the worlds, to us, he had to become the target of various kinds of suffering. Then also because whatever remained incomplete and imperfect in the earlier books, he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) completed, and he gave us a Shariah free from excess and deficiency and other faults and defects, and he brought morals to perfection, and whatever was deficient he made complete, and he placed all the nations of the world under his obligation, and through the most eloquent and fluent statements and the most radiant revelation, he showed the paths of guidance and saved the creation from misguidance, and through his example, he made them abstain, and he gave speech to animals and cattle (that is, such people who lived like animals, who were illiterate, ignorant, and uncouth)— he gave them tongues and made their tongues refined, elevated their morals, and he breathed the spirit of guidance into them and made them heirs of all the messengers, and he purified them so much that they became annihilated in the pleasure of Allah the Almighty, and for Allah the Almighty they shed their blood like water and surrendered themselves completely to Allah the Almighty with perfect obedience. Then, on the other hand, by teaching rare and deeply hidden subtleties and insights and unique points, he raised people like us who eat the leftovers of his table to the station of true excellence. (He made them excellent in morals and excellent in knowledge and understanding.) And through his guidance, we saw with our own eyes the paths of reaching God the Almighty. (He elevated them in spirituality as well.) And we reached the highest heaven after we had sunk into the earth. So, O Allah! Send blessings and peace upon him (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) until the Day of Judgment and forever. Also upon his pure, righteous, and blessed family and upon his noble Companions who became his helpers and were themselves helped—they are the chosen and elect community of Allah the Almighty who gave precedence to Allah the Almighty over their lives, their honor, their dignity, their wealth, and their children. رَضِیَ اللّٰہُ عَنْہُمْ اَجْمَعِیْنَ (May Allah be pleased with all of them)." (Al-Balagh, Ruhani Khazain, Volume 13, Pages 433-434, Translation of Arabic text)
Then, mentioning the blessings of the station of Khatam al-Nabiyyin (Seal of the Prophets) of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), he says:
"We believe that our Master Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is the Prophet and Messenger of Allah the Almighty, and his religion is better than all religions. And we believe that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is Khatam al-Anbiya (the Seal of the Prophets). After him, only that prophet can come whose training has been done through his grace and who has come under his prophecy; no other prophet can come. And by Khatam al-Nabuwwat is meant that the perfections of prophethood ended upon our Prophet, the Most Excellent of Messengers and Prophets. And we believe that after him, only that prophet can come who is from his Ummah and from his most perfect followers, who has attained all his grace solely from his spirituality and has been illumined by his light alone. No other prophet can come. This is the truth that bears witness to the blessings of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and shows people his beauty in the garb of his true followers who are annihilated in him with perfect love and sincerity. And to argue against this is ignorance. Rather, this is proof from God the Almighty that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is not cut off. And for the wise, there is no need for further detail because the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was not, in the physical sense, the father of any man, but he is spiritually the father of every perfect person by virtue of his prophetic grace. And he is the Seal of all prophets and the chief of all accepted ones. And except for that person who bears the seal of his stamp and is a follower of his Sunnah, no person can ever gain access to the court of God the Almighty. And no deed and no worship can be accepted without affirming his prophethood and being firmly established upon his religion and his nation. And whoever abandons him and does not follow all his traditions to the best of his ability is ruined. And after him, no new Shariah can come, and nothing can abrogate his book and his commandments or alter his holy words. And no rainfall can be like his rainfall. And whoever departs from following the Quran even by a hair's breadth has departed from the circle of faith. And no person can succeed and attain salvation unless he follows all those things that are proven from our chosen Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). And whoever abandons even a particle of his commandments falls into the pit of destruction. And whoever, while claiming prophethood and being from this Ummah, does not believe that his training is done through the grace of Khair al-Baraya (Best of Creation), our Master Muhammad Mustafa (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and that without following his example he possesses no reality, and that the Holy Quran is Khatam al-Shariah (the Seal of Law)—such a person is ruined and a confirmed disbeliever and sinner. And whoever claims prophethood and does not believe that he is from his Ummah and that whatever he has attained, he has attained through his grace, and that he is a fruit of his garden, a drop of his rain, a glimpse of his lights—such a person is accursed, and upon such a person and his helpers, followers, and companions—upon all of them—is the curse of God. Now, under the heaven, there is no prophet besides our chosen Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) who is other than him, nor do we have any book other than the Holy Quran. And whoever opposes it throws himself into Hell." (Mawahib al-Rahman, Ruhani Khazain, Volume 19, Pages 285-287, Translation of Arabic text)
Then he states that now the only intercessor is the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). He said:
"For mankind, there is now no book on the face of the earth except the Quran. And for all children of Adam, there is now no messenger and intercessor except Muhammad Mustafa (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). So strive to keep true love with this prophet of majesty and glory, and do not give any kind of superiority to anyone other than him, so that in heaven you may be written among the saved. And remember that salvation is not something that will appear after death; rather, true salvation is that which shows its light in this very world. Who is the saved one? He who believes that God is true and Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is the mediating intercessor between Him and all creation (God is true and he, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, is the intercessor between creation and God), and under the heaven there is no other messenger equal to him, nor any other book equal to the Quran. And for no one did God will that he should live forever, but this chosen prophet is alive forever....
Moses attained the treasure that earlier generations had lost, and Hazrat Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) attained the treasure that the line of Moses had lost. Now the Muhammadan dispensation is the successor of the Mosaic dispensation, but thousands of degrees higher in rank. The like of Moses is greater than Moses, and the like of the son of Mary is greater than the son of Mary." (Kashti-e-Nuh, Ruhani Khazain, Volume 19, Pages 13-14)
So these are a few excerpts that I have taken from the countless excerpts that the Promised Messiah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) has written regarding the status and rank of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Similarly, there is a treasure regarding the explanation of the various teachings of Islam that he has presented. May Allah the Almighty grant us the ability to benefit from it as much as possible, and may He also give sense to the so-called standard-bearers of Islam that they listen to the words of the true, devoted lover of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and become true guides for the general Muslims.
After the prayer, I will also lead two funeral prayers in absentia. The first is for respected Muhammad Musa Sahib, Dervish of Qadian, who passed away on May 10, 2015, at the age of ninety-five. إِنَّا لِلّٰہِ وَإِنَّا إِلَیْہِ رَاجِعُونَ (Surely, to Allah we belong and to Him shall we return). The deceased remained active until the last days of his life. Four days before his demise, he fell in an accident on a road in Ahmadiyya Chowk and sustained an injury to his temple, due to which he was admitted to the hospital in Amritsar for four days, and then he passed away at Noor Hospital. The deceased was a Musi. His family was blessed with the opportunity to join Ahmadiyyat by taking Bai'at during the time of the First Khilafat. The deceased was from the village Syed Wala in District Sheikhupura. In 1946, when he left army service and took up residence in Qadian, Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him what work he was doing. The deceased said that he had left army service and was about to start his own work. Upon this, Hazrat Musleh Maud said that he needed his service; after migrating, he should not go to Pakistan but should stay in Qadian. This was in 1947, and at that time the circumstances of Partition were also unfolding. So he stayed in Qadian, and in this way, he became included among the 313 Dervishes of Qadian and spent the days of poverty with great fortune. For many years, he was blessed with the opportunity to serve in the offices of Sadr Anjuman Ahmadiyya, particularly in Dar-ul-Masih. In 2006, the deceased was blessed with the opportunity to attend the Jalsa Salana UK as a representative of the Dervishes, and he was also blessed with being India's representative in the worldwide Bai'at, and he was seated in the front. He leaves behind two daughters and three sons. His son, respected Latif Sahib, has retired from the service of the Movement. His wife passed away on May 30, 2014. She supported her Dervish husband and lived a Dervish-like life with great patience. May Allah the Almighty elevate the ranks of the deceased, and may He grant his progeny the ability to follow in the footsteps of these elders.
The second funeral is for Sahibzadi Syeda Amat-ur-Rafiq Sahiba, who was the daughter of Hazrat Syed Mir Muhammad Ismail Sahib (may Allah be pleased with him). She passed away on May 6, 2015, at the age of 80. إِنَّا لِلّٰہِ وَإِنَّا إِلَیْہِ رَاجِعُونَ. Hazrat Mir Muhammad Ismail Sahib had married twice. There was no offspring from the first marriage. The second marriage was with respected Hazrat Amat-ul-Latif Begum Sahiba in 1917, and from her, Allah the Almighty blessed him with seven daughters and three sons. Sahibzadi Amat-ur-Rafiq was the eighth. She was a great scholarly personality and had a quiet temperament. Her son, Hamidullah Nusratullah Pasha, is a doctor at Fazl-e-Umar Hospital. He writes that my father, Hazrat Allah Pasha Sahib, accepted Ahmadiyyat in 1953 while studying in America. In 1960, Hazrat Mirza Bashir Ahmad Sahib (may Allah be pleased with him), while proposing my father's marriage to my mother, said: "We had two maternal uncles. The elder uncle was a great saint"—meaning Hazrat Dr. Mir Muhammad Ismail Sahib, who was the brother of Hazrat Amma Jan—"and the younger uncle was a great scholar"—meaning Hazrat Mir Ishaq Sahib. Mian Bashir Ahmad Sahib said: "For you, I propose marriage to the daughter of my elder uncle, Amat-ur-Rafiq." Then their father said to Hazrat Mirza Bashir Ahmad Sahib: "All my relatives are non-Ahmadi, so how can I propose marriage? How can I even bring it up?" He said: "As your guardian, I will bring up the proposal." Thus, on November 5, 1961, the nikah took place and the rukhsati also happened on the same day. Hazrat Syeda Maryam Siddiqah Sahiba told Dr. Nusrat Pasha that when your mother's wedding took place, at that time Hazrat Musleh Maud was ill. Hazrat Mirza Bashir Ahmad Sahib led the wedding prayer and participated in the representation. Afterward, when he came to meet Hazrat Musleh Maud and was about to leave after the meeting, Hazrat Musleh Maud sent a message that tell Hazrat Allah Pasha, to whom Amat-ur-Rafiq Sahiba was married, that I have given you my daughter.
Her son, Hamidullah Nusrat Pasha Sahib, as I mentioned, is a life devotee. He is a dental surgeon at Fazl-e-Umar Hospital. Her second son, Khizar Pasha, is in Dubai, and her daughter Farhana Pasha is the wife of Dr. Ghulam Ahmad Farrukh Sahib, a life devotee. This Farrukh Sahib also works in the computer section in Rabwah. Amat-ur-Rafiq Sahiba was blessed with serving as Naib Sadr Lajna Karachi for a long time, and despite knee problems, she would reach everywhere. The offices were on higher floors; she would go there, and because of this, her ailment increased. But in any case, she did not abandon her duties. She was very kind to the poor and helped them extraordinarily, keeping it secret. Her devotion to Khilafat was such that she could not tolerate anything against it. In 1974, after the events that occurred, some guests came to her house, and at the dining table, someone said that during the Assembly proceedings, Hazoor—meaning Khalifatul Masih III—should have said this instead of that. She immediately stopped them firmly with a gesture of her finger and said, "That's enough; I will not hear a single word beyond this." She immediately ended the conversation there. She had a strong bond of loyalty with Khilafat.
She also had a special relationship with Allah the Almighty. Her children say that when our father retired, they were surviving only on pension. Circumstances were somewhat tight. One day, mother (that is, Amat-ur-Rafiq Sahiba) said to my father in my presence that she had received the glad tiding of وَاللّٰہُ خَیْرُ الرَّازِقِیْنَ (and Allah is the Best Provider.) from Allah the Almighty. And after that, her husband was hired by the World Bank as an advisor, and consultancy fees also started coming in, and by the grace of Allah the Almighty, income increased. She had no attachment to the world. Her daughter Farhana Pasha has written that when wrapping up my mother's belongings, it took fifteen minutes to wrap up everything. Another quality of hers was that her entire in-laws were non-Ahmadi. Hazrat Musleh Maud had advised her to always take care of non-Ahmadi relatives. She says that mother acted on this advice throughout her life, and despite the opposition of father's non-Ahmadi relatives—who were not just relatives but also expressed opposition in various ways—she treated them with kindness throughout her life. And at the time of death, some of them acknowledged that no one was as sympathetic and well-wishing toward them as she was. May Allah the Almighty elevate the ranks of the deceased and grant her progeny the ability to remain steadfast upon righteousness.
